Just as the delivery of care to people with mental health problems has evolved, so too has the role an occupational therapist plays in the multidisciplinary mental health team. This paper highlights the valuable role of occupational therapists within a particular community mental health team by, first, acknowledging their specialist skills and then describing one component of their work: a 7-week closed group for anxiety management. Finally, it provides recommendations for others who may wish to set up a similar group, which have been drawn from the authors' own experiences.
